21-Jun-00

Princeton Graphic SystemsÆ, manufacturer of multiple award-winning HDTV monitors, computer and convergence displays, introduces the ARCADIA T-series AR3.6T multimedia display. The 4:3 direct-view 36-inch CRT completes Princeton's line of versatile, high-performance, HDTV-ready, NTSC TV receiver and XGA computer monitors. In applications such as conference rooms, home theatres and classrooms where performance, size, value and versatility are important, these displays support NTSC video, 480p (DTV), 1080i and 720p HDTV formats as well as VGA, SVGA and XGA (1024 x 768) graphics from PC and MacintoshÆ computer sources. The AR3.6T is scheduled to begin shipping immediately with a suggested retail price of $3,299.00.The Arcadia T-series 36-inch viewable display will feature a phosphor stripe pitch of 0.90mm yielding superb rendition of DTV and computer signals with clarity, detail and color accuracy. With an auto-sync horizontal scanning frequency of 30-52kHz, the display is capable of displaying 720p HDTV signals in their native mode. 720p display capability is a rarity in digital-ready and HD sets because of the format's high horizontal scanning frequency of 45kHz. Featuring multiple inputs to accommodate a variety of applications, the display is also compatible with NTSC, PAL video and VGA, SVGA and XGA resolutions from PC or Macintosh computer sources. A built-in NTSC tuner, built-in line doubler, wireless remote control and a powerful 12W x 2 amplifier with audio speakers complete the display's versatility.""Our product goal for the initial T-series offerings (27-inch and 32-inch models) was to design and manufacture affordable multimedia, direct-view TV/HD/computer monitors,"" said William Wang, President and Chief Executive Officer of Princeton Graphic Systems. ""Based upon the tremendous response to those products by end users and critics alike, we our now proud to introduce a 36-inch version. With the convergence of consumer electronics and computer technologies, end users now demand that their new display devices be compatible with computer, HDTV and standard video formats. With these three models, we have accommodated all of these formats with a maximized viewing experience.""To improve the resolution of all standard video sources including the TV tuner or DVD, Princeton has included picture performance-enhancing refinements such as a built-in line doubler. The system creates a progressive-scanned 480p image from standard NTSC sources such as TV, satellite, VCR and DVD-Video players. The result is increased picture resolution and detail without interlaced scan lines.The display features an impressive input/output array for maximum versatility. Rear panel connections include one composite input with left/right audio on RCA, one S-Video input on mini-DIN with left/right audio on RCA, one F-connector for CATV or Antenna RF input, one VGA input (RGBHV) on a 15-pin HD connector with mini-jack audio and one VGA output (RGBHV) on a 15-pin HD connector with left/right audio on RCA. The front panel also allows convenient source input via one VGA (RGBHV) on a 15-pin HD connector with left/right audio on RCA.Responsibly engineered to be FCC-class B, ULÆ, CULÆ, and DHHS compliant, the Arcadia AR3.6T display includes a limited on-site warranty of one year on parts, CRT and labor supported by a network of 3,300 service professionals.
